Chapter 062 The Fifth Set
Xia He came over after dinner and went upstairs with Bai Zhenzhu.
White Pearl opened the bedroom door:
"Do you want to sleep with me and Shuo Shuo, or sleep on the sofa?"
The other bedroom was occupied by Li Yuerong and her sister. Li Yueshu was not idle either, and was helping to clean up downstairs.
Xia He glanced at the bedroom:
"The bed is so big, I can sleep with you two, and it won't be crowded."
Bai Zhenzhu brought the pumpkin seeds from the chest of drawers over. They were given by the vegetable seller Mei Xiu Lian and were fried at home.
Ask Xia He:
"Have you bought the house?"
Xia He said happily:
"I paid the deposit. The area on the property certificate is 70 square meters. They originally insisted on asking for 13,000 yuan. I talked to my mother for a long time before they lowered it to 1,000 yuan."
Twelve thousand for a yard and a vegetable garden, not bad.
Bai Zhenzhu took the opportunity to brainwash her:
"It's right that Miss Wen stepped in. It's good enough if we can buy it now. I always feel that the housing prices are rising."
Xia He was puzzled when she heard her say that house prices were going to go up again:
"Zhenzhu, are you obsessed with buying a house? I feel like you've gone crazy."
Bai Zhenzhu: "I just want to ask you, you bought the shop for 4,000 yuan, and now it's selling for 30,000 yuan. If you sell the shop now, you will make 26,000 yuan directly. Do you feel happy about the difference?"
Xia He nodded: "Great."
Bai Zhenzhu: "That's the reason. When we came back from Qingshui River that day, you saw that many places on Xingfu Street were under construction."
"Look at the flow of people at the train station. Hasn't it increased in recent years? In the future, more and more people will move into the city, and the demand for housing will increase. House prices will definitely continue to rise."
Xia He lived near the train station, so she naturally knew about the changes there and felt that what Bai Zhenzhu said made sense.
Hesitantly, he said, "Then I'll do the same as you and buy more houses?"
White Pearl: "Buy if there's something suitable."
She couldn't say too much, so this was all she could do.
Business in several stores has been relatively stable recently. The clothing store has the highest profit, with at least over two hundred yuan a day.
Xia He also said that now is the off-season, and only when the weather starts to get cold and they can wear winter clothes, they will make money.
"Especially when the Chinese New Year is approaching, last year I made this much in one day at most."
She made an OK gesture.
Bai Zhenzhu was stunned: "Three thousand?"
Xia He nodded, feeling very proud:
"Isn't my sister awesome?"
White Pearl: "Great."
Xia He nibbled pumpkin seeds:
"It's only in the past two years that it's become easier to make money. Before, everyone was poor and reluctant to spend money."
Bai Zhenzhu also has a deep understanding of this.
I used to be reluctant to eat the pigs I raised and wished I could sell them all for money.
In the past two years, every household has slaughtered a pig for the New Year, and meat has become more and more common on the table.
On Saturday, Bai Zhenzhu and Li Yueshu went to open the clothing store. From a distance, they saw a man in a white shirt sitting on a motorcycle and smoking.
"Comrade Nie, you're here so early, is there something wrong?"
Nie Lei quickly threw away the cigarette and crushed it with his toes:
"Didn't I say I'd take you to see a house last time? I'm off today, so I can take you there. Are you free here?"
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "I'm free. This is too much trouble for you."
Nie Lei was a little embarrassed to look directly into Bai Zhenzhu's eyes:
"It's no trouble. I'm free on the weekend anyway. You, you get in the car."
He got on the motorcycle first.
Bai Zhenzhu gave the key to Li Yueshu and got into Nie Lei's car.
"Comrade Bai, you, you better hold on tight."
"OK."
Bai Zhenzhu grabbed Nie Lei's shirt at the waist and reminded him:
"I got it, Comrade Nie, let's go."
Nie Lei took a deep breath.
It was his first time taking a girl out, and his palms were wet from nervousness.
What’s worse is that the car didn’t start even after trying to kick it several times.
Just when he was so nervous that he was sweating, the damn motorcycle finally started.
The house that Nie Lei mentioned was not far away, and happened to be on Xingfu Street.
After arriving at the place, Nie Lei stopped the car.
"This community is called Furong Community, and my family lives in the community next to it."
Bai Zhenzhu was a little surprised:
"So you don't live in the same neighborhood as last time?"
Nie Lei explained:
"My uncle lives over there. I went to see him last time."
He pushed the motorcycle into the community, locked it, and took Bai Zhenzhu to the fourth floor of the building on the left.
These houses were built to look like schools, with at least five or six households in a row and the stairs in the middle of the building.
There is an aisle outside, and the aisle is full of clothes hanging out to dry.
Nie Lei is about 1.8 meters tall and always walks with a bent back.
When he arrived at a house, Nie Lei knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was a man, and he smiled when he saw Nie Lei:
"Lei, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
Seeing Bai Zhenzhu next to Nie Lei, her eyes lit up:
“This is you…”
Nie Lei interrupted quickly:
"Brother Lin, aren't you selling your house? I'll bring someone over to take a look."
The man's eyes swept back and forth between Nie Lei and Bai Zhenzhu's faces.
White Pearl took the initiative to say:
"Brother, Comrade Nie really brought me to see the house. Is your house for sale?"
The man finally believed it and stepped aside to let the two men enter the house.
The room is quite messy.
They must have moved, because the house is messy and all the large furniture is gone.
"I'm sorry, I just moved yesterday and haven't cleaned up yet." The man explained awkwardly.
White Pearl smiled:
"It's okay, it's just moving, it's normal."
Nie Lei said to Bai Zhenzhu:
"Comrade Bai, take a look. Brother Lin is an engineer in my father's unit, and my sister-in-law is a teacher at No. 1 Middle School. If they don't move to a bigger house, they want to sell this old house."
It turns out to be an intellectual family. No wonder there are all kinds of papers on the floor.
Bai Zhenzhu looked inside and out.
Nowadays, most houses have two bedrooms and a living room, with an area of about 50 to 60 square meters, and the layout of the house is no different.
The family had almost moved out, leaving behind only a black bed, a few very old stools, and a small black table.
While Bai Zhenzhu was looking around, the engineer named Lin pulled Nie Lei aside and whispered:
"She's really not your type? Such a pretty girl is rare, so hold on tight."
Nie Lei was a little embarrassed:
“Isn’t this trying?”
He didn't expect this. He was already annoyed when he saw Bai Zhenzhu going to withdraw money.
Now, he even took the initiative to help her find a house and spend money.
After looking at the white pearls, I asked about the price.
Engineer Lin glanced at Nie Lei:
"You were introduced by Nie Lei, so I won't bargain with you. I'll just give you a flat price of 10,000 yuan in cash."
The price of white pearls is quite unexpected.
She estimated that this house was slightly smaller than the one Xia He bought and did not come with furniture.
But the building is newer, so this price is definitely a fair price.
Nie Lei thought she didn't know the market situation, so he reminded her:
"A little further away, next to the department store, a house like this one would cost at least two or three thousand more."
Two or three thousand is Nie Lei’s annual salary, which is really a lot.
Bai Zhenzhu took out five hundred yuan from her bag:
"Brother, how about I pay a deposit first and then go to the Housing Authority on Monday to sign the contract and transfer the ownership?"
The other party was also happy:
"No problem, I'll write you a receipt."
Bai Zhenzhu was a little excited as she had booked another house.
I just don’t know which side will start construction first, Xingfu Avenue or the railway station.
Nie Lei sent Bai Zhenzhu back to the clothing store.
White Pearl was very grateful:
"Comrade Nie, thank you so much for today. I would like to treat you to dinner tonight. How about the Good Taste Restaurant in the market?"
Nie Lei's heart moved.
Have a meal?
"Okay." He responded excitedly.
